I have same code running in localhost + server, but the response from Laravel is different.

In localhost, I get anarray. In server, I get anobject.

I don't know why, because this never happen.

I'm using Laravel 5.7.x and the defaultresponse()->json(...) method.

CODE

LOCALHOST (Windows 10, php 7.3.14)

  "departments": [
    {
      "name": "Sem departamento",
      "vacancies": [
        {
          "id": 264,
          "title": "OFICIAL DE MANUTENÇÃO PREDIAL (REFRIGERAÇÃO)",
          "pcd": 0,
          "internal_code": null,
          "company_department_id": 0,
          "exam_filename": null,
